Man was in car in queue leaving Nutts Corner Market when a person opened the door and punched him in the face
A man opened the door of a car waiting in a queue to exit Nutts Corner Market before punching a person in the face.
Nigel Hall (50), of Piney Hill, Ballynahinch, admitted charges of assault and criminal damage to a car on Sunday April 6 last year.
The full details of the incident were not outlined to Antrim Magistrates Court, sitting in Ballymena.
However, it was heard the incident happened when the victim was in a car in a queue when a man in a van "pulled in in front of him to jump the queue".
The prosecutor continued: "The defendant has then got of his vehicle and opened the victim's car door and proceeded to punch him in the face and tried to grab his mobile phone."
District Judge Nigel Broderick said a pre-sentence report was needed and the case was adjourned to February 24.
